Located near the [[Czech Republic\|Czech]] border, Skalica has a population of around 15,000. ==Etymology== The name is derived from Slovak word ''skala'' (a rock) referring to the cliffs the inhabitants built their settlement over.<ref name="lexicon">{{cite book \| editor1-first = Martin \| editor1-last = Štefánik \| editor2-first = Ján \| editor2-last = Lukačka \| title = Lexikón stredovekých miest na Slovensku \| trans-title = Lexicon of Medieval Towns in Slovakia \| ppage = 43\| publisher = Historický ústav SAV \| location = Bratislava \| year = 2010 \| isbn = 978-80-89396-11-5 \| language = ~~Slovak~~sk \| url = http://www.forumhistoriae.sk/e_kniznica/Lexikon-stredovekych-miest.pdf ~~\| ref=harv~~}}</ref> The first written record of Skalica was made in 1217 as ''Szacholca''.<ref name="lexicon"/> ==History== The site has been inhabited since 4000 BC and was part of the [[Great Moravian Empire]].<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://www.zahorskemuzeum.sk/?q=page/155\|title=Domov » Záhorské Múzeum Skalica\|website=Záhorské Múzeum Skalica}}</ref><ref>{{cite web\|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=aHcvAAAAIAAJ&q=Skalica+velka+morava~~&dq=Skalica+velka+morava&hl=sk&ei=TiflTpi1CcXBtAbU1NSxCQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&sqi=2&redir_esc=y~~\|title=Dejiny Slovenska: Od najstarších čas do roku 1848\|first=L̕udovít\|last=Holotík\|date=2 May 1961\|publisher=Vydavatel'stvo Slovenskej akadémie vied\|via=Google Books}}</ref> From the second half of the 10th century until 1918, it was part of the [[Kingdom of Hungary]]. The settlement developed around a triangular [[plaza]], which was rare during the [[Middle Ages]]. Its [[town privileges]] were conferred in 1372 by King [[Louis I of Hungary]]. In 1428 Skalica became a [[bastion]] for the [[Hussites]]; during the [[Hussite Wars]], the majority of its then predominantly German-speaking populace fled or was exiled. Many [[Habaners]] (adherents of a sect similar to [[Anabaptism]]) settled in Skalica in the 16th century. On 6 November 1918 Skalica became the seat of the Temporary Government of Slovakia, for ten days de facto capital of Slovakia. The Temporary Government led by [[Vavro Šrobár]] declared here a sovereignty of the Czechoslovak state, published a newspaper ''Sloboda'' (Liberty) and unsuccessfully tried to negotiate the removal of [[Hungary\|Hungarian]] troops from [[Upper Hungary]] ''(today Slovakia)''. Line 87: [[Didaktik]] computers were produced in Skalica during the 1980s. The 2006 [[Europe]]an [[Table hockey games\|Table Hockey]] Championships were held in the town. A popular pastry called [[~~Trdelník~~trdelník]] is made in Skalica. Now sold all over ~~the Slovak~~Slovakia and ~~Czech Republics~~Czechia, this unusual "stove-pipe" shaped pastry has its origins in [[Transylvania]]. Today, it is economically the strongest town in the [[Záhorie]] region, bypassing its rival town [[Senica]] for this position, and is becoming a tourist destination thanks to its preserved town centre and historical monuments. Line 96: ==Demographics== According to the 2001 [[census]], the town had 15,013 inhabitants. 94.84% of inhabitants were [[Slovaks]], 3.61% [[Czech people\|Czechs]] and 0.61% [[Romani people\|Roma]].<ref name="statistics">{{cite web \| title = Municipal Statistics \| publisher = Statistical Office of the Slovak republic \| url = http://www.statistics.sk/mosmis/eng/run.html \| ~~accessdate~~access-date = 2007-12-09 \|~~archiveurl~~archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20071116010355/http://www.statistics.sk/mosmis/eng/run.html <!-- Bot retrieved archive --> \|~~archivedate~~archive-date = 2007-11-16}}</ref> The religious make-up was 70.15% [[Roman Catholics]], 19.92% people with no religious affiliation and 6.67% [[Lutherans]].<ref name="statistics"/> ==Sports== * [[HK 36 Skalica]], ice hockey club from the town and [[MFK Skalica]], football club in the [[Slovak Super Liga]]. * ŠK Bandy hokej Skalica is one of three [[bandy]] clubs in Slovakia.
